My E-Mail was hacked

[arnie]

My yahoo e-mail account was hacked today and everyone in my address book is getting mail supposably sent from me asking for money. The story is I have been mugged in europe and need money to pay hotel bills.
I'm sorry but several WCI members e-mail addresses were comprimised and probably will be getting e-mail shortly. Arnie

Hello!!
This had to come in a hurry and it has left me in a devastating state I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,my family and i came down here to London,England for a short vacation to visit a resort and got mugged at gun point last night at the park of the hotel where we lodged.All cash,creditcards and cell were stolen off me.I've been to the US embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all,our flight leaves today and i'm having problems settling the hotel bills.

The hotel manager won't let us leave until i settle the hotel bills($1,450) now am freaked out.Please reply and let me if can you have the money wire to me through western union i promise to pay back as soon as i get back home.

Thanks,

Hi Arnie,
Our daughter's yahoo account was hacked also. I kept getting really strange emails from her. I hope you went in and changed your password right away. Then email everyone in the address book and tell them not to respond to that email.... Since our daughter changed her password, no more problems for now.
